James H. Pfiu« ' . D.D.S., ch-an of llir scluxil of dciiii-ti v The pangs of aching teelh have been one of the universal alTlictions of mankind down through the ages. Modern dentifrices have yet to win tlie bat- tle against this adversity which knows no class, so the need for dentists remains. Under the adminis- tration of Dr. James A. Pence, dean, the Creighton university school of dentistry meets this need by continuing to educate skilled practitioners well able EcUooi o jbe4 ii6in4f. to relic « ' the distresses of mankind while demon- strating tlic excellence of their college training. The graduates this year leave a fully approv ' d dental school which operates a dental clinic where 4,000 cases are treated annually, and a .school which maintains a modern research laboratory where stu- dents receive training both in surgery and in the treatment of mouth diseases. In collaboration with the research laboratory the school has a cancer det ' ction project in progress. Absent from this year ' s social calendar was the molar mixer usually the feature event on the agen- da, but the mixer ' s absence should intensify the significance of its reappearance next year. In the early fall the dental wives sponsored a style show at the Rrandeis auditorium, and on St. Valentine ' s day the uives held a darxe at the Castle hotel. Realizing the urgencies of the war situation many of this year ' s graduates have enlisted in the armed services to serve an int ernship in one of the nation ' s government hospitals. Many more, however, will enter private practice to meet the critical need for dentists that exists througlioiil the world. ft Ji - , Faculty of tlie ?cliool of denti-lry 24

The original medical building was temporarily quartered in St. Joseph ' s Hospital. Then, in 1896, the present building was erected at the corner of fourteenth and Davenport Streets; and in 1910, the north building was constructed. In these buildings are contained the lecture rooms, student laborator- ies, offices, recently remodeled research laboratories, lounges, and a library. The library has a select collection of cumulative reference works, special treatises in medicine, and a compilation of medical science periodicals, which are available for the use of students and faculty. When medical science in- creases its vast knowledge in the branhes of med- icine and surgery, the Creighton University always strives to guide the students with precise informa- tion. The Dispensary, which is arranged and equipped for the diagnosis and care of ambulatory patients, provides invaluable training for the students. Dur- ing the past year more than one-tenth of Omaha ' s vast population of almost 300,000 people made vis- its to the Dispensary; and in addition. 2.450 home calls were made to the confined patients. The clin- ical facilities also include the Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital, and St. Catherine ' s Hospital. Additional teaching and clinical facilities for the faculty and students are afforded by the Booth Me- morial Hospital. Mercy Hospital, St. Bernard ' s Hos- pital. St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital, and St. James ' Or- phanage. Creightons immediate facilities j)rovide almost 2500 beds and 2 ' M bassinets. Thomas U. Fitzgerald, D.S., M.S.P.H., assistant dean of the school of medicine A doctor is often nearly thirty years of age before he is fully equipped for regular practice, but, nevertheless, this long preparation is justified by the responsibility that a doctor assumes.
